Thanks are due to West Berkshire Council, parish councils, the Greenham Trust, the Englefield Trust, Theale Parish Council and other charities and donors for their support in keeping the Carebus Community Transport services going.
Their input, along with the modest mileage contributions from users, are sufficient to meet the majority of Carebus costs because all drivers and administrative staff are volunteers.
If you would like to help by making a donation, however modest, it would be greatly welcomed. There are three ways to do so:
1) by cheque or bank transfer
a) You can send a cheque, made payable to Carebus Volunteer Group to: Treasurer, Carebus, c/o 7 Mountbatten Close, Newbury, RG14 2HT
b) Or you can donate via bank transfer online banking using these details
Carebus Volunteer Group. Sort Code 40-36-03. Account Number 01103776 (Please reference your payment as DONATION)
2) by participating in the West Berkshire Lottery which gives the possibility of winning up to £25,000 at the same time as supporting Carebus.
